Hello,

the openSUSE Conference will start in a few days, and I hope to meet lots of you there ;-)

If there is something we like at openSUSE that is talks and beer and wine, and this time we want to combine them. We are going to to have a session with lightning talks, short talks of 5 minutes maximum each, where there is only one rule: The speaker muss always hold a beer or (new!) a glass of wine while giving the presentation.

Everybody can submit a proposal. It doesn't matter if you are already an experienced openSUSE contributor or if you are just starting. We want to hear everybody! You just need an interesting and original topic related to open source or openSUSE to join the fun at the openSUSE conference. And if you don't drink alcohol, don't worry, we'll also provide beer-free beer (water ;-)

Submitting a lightning talk

If you want to give a lightning talk, please submit it by sending a mail to osc19@cboltz.de with the following information:

The notification if your lightning talk gets accepted will be sent until saturday (2019-05-25) 11:00. If your talk gets accepted and you want to use slides, please send them by mail until 16:00 so that we can use one laptop for all speakers.

I'll publish the list of accepted lightning talks there on Saturday before lunch.

Regards,

PS: Even if the session title indicates otherwise, talks about the software called "wine" are also welcome ;-)
